The has an outwardly-extending flange or lip 12. pipe 27 lits in the opening or slot 10 of the The top 5 6 of the bodyis straight and smooth, part 6 of the top of the body.

The plate is composed of a flat front portion The tank la is connected to the plate 13 17, a flat central portion 13 at a lower elevaby rings 2i), through which it is slipped and tion than the part 17 and a dome-shaped rear held from end movement by enlargements on 4o portion 19, the lower edges ofwhich are in. 30 3l on its respective ends outside of the line with the bottom of the portion 1S, and rings. The enlargement 30 is in the form of which, with the portion 18, rest on the part a cap that screws onto the tank, (see Fig. U of the top of the body, the arch or dome IIL) and which is applied after the tank is spanning the slot or opening 10. The forward slipped into the rings. The enlargement 3l 95 45 part of the front portion 17 of the plate rests is preferably turned upward and is provided on the part 5 of the top of the body. with a valve 32, which may be removed to 2O represents spaces or openings left beexpose a filling-opening 33, the bottom of tween the inner part of the portion 17 of the which forms the seat of the valve. The valve plate and the part 6 of the top of the body admits air as the oil is consumed. The rings roo 3o and between the Vertical walls 21 andv 22 of 29 have threaded necks, which screw into the body and plate. Through these openings threaded sockets 34, formed upon the plate 13, and they are thus removably connected to the plate. They are, of course, screwed into place before the tank is inserted.

The supply-pipe 27 has a short portion 271i, with right and left threads on its opposite ends. 011e end screws into the cap or enlargement 30, and the other end into a coupling 3b. It is necessary to remove this section of the supply-pipe before the cap 30 can be taken off to allow the tank to be removed from the rings and the rings 29 from the plate 13. The rings 2U have upwardly-extending projections 37, in which is supported a handle 15, preferably of wood. The handle is thus removed a distance from the heat escaping from the body through the openings 20, and the tank is between them.

The entire construction and arrangement produces a cheap, durable, and effective selfheating sad-iron, and one that can be easily and quickly put together and taken apart.

The construction is as applicable to a goose as to an iron, and may be used in either.

The lip 12, together with the cap end of the tank, forms the support for the iron when not in use.

I claim as my invention- 1. A self-heating sad-iron having an integrally-cast hollow body formed with top parts 5 and (i, cast. integrally with the body at its ends, said parts 5 and (i being at different elevations and overhanging the body of the iron, an air-space being left between them, substantially as shown and described.

2. A self-heating sad-iron having an integrally-cast hollow body provided with an upwardly-extended end 7, cast with the body, said end having an outwardly-extcndcd portion, and a plate fitting on the body and carrying a supply-tank and a burner, an opening being formed between the plateand the end 7, substantially as shown and described.

3. In a self-heating sad-iron, a bodyhaving a top formlbd in two parts on different elevations and a plate carrying a burner and supply-tank and having parts on different elcvations to fit the top of the body and forming openings between the connecting portions ot' the parts of different elevations 0i' both body and plate, substantially as and forthc purpose set forth.

t. In a seltheating sadiron, the combination of the body having top parts 5 and 6 at different elevations, a plate having a front portion 17, which rests upon part 5, a depressed middle portion 1S, which rests upon the lower part 6, and a rear portion 1),which rises above the depiessed portion 1S, a tank 1.4, burner 1G, and a handle 15, all combined and operating substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

5. In a self-heating sad-iron, the co1nbination of the body, plate fitting on the body and connected thereto, burner secured to the plate, removable rings connected to the plate, tank iittingjn the rings, removable cap on the tank, and supply-pipe 27, connecting the burner to the tank, said pipe having a coupling 3U and a right and left threaded portion 27% screwing into the coupling and into the cap of the tank, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
